Hirshhorn Insider

As the national museum of modern and contemporary art, the Hirshhorn is a platform for artists to push the boundaries of what art can be, a hub where timely conversations and ideas thrive, and an opportunity for visitors to engage with art that responds to history in real time, most of them for the first time. The Hirshhorn is many things, but we are nothing without you.

Becoming a Hirshhorn Insider means joining a community of change-makers, of movers and shakers coming together to celebrate the transformative power of modern and contemporary art. Hirshhorn Insiders are at the center of the Museum’s radical mission—and this is fun! Insiders unlock an all-access pass to art up close while providing support for innovative exhibitions and public programs that inspire more than 1 million visitors a year. From meeting artists at exclusive previews to advance event registration, becoming an Insider will bring you closer to the artists and ideas of our time.
